Our goal at CAPITAL
VENTURE is to help non-profits reach a state of excellence in their
fundraising efforts, and to assure that fundraising is done in a
professional and ethical manner. This desire on our part to see
non-profits succeed has led us to focus much of our efforts on training
and education. So you will see on our website a lot of free tools to
help non-profits in their fundraising "ventures."

Our consulting services include:

Board Development

Capital Campaigns

Development Audits and Plans

Planning/Feasibility Studies

Training

Our
name comes as a result of the focus on capital campaigns, in particular
campaigns for smaller organizations and those without a large
development staff. Over the years, our scope of services has expanded
and much of our time is spent on development audits, development plans
and board development.

However, we think the name CAPITAL VENTURE
still suits us. Here's why: for many organizations even though their
needs may not be for bricks and mortar campaigns, we think the word
capital is very appropriate. If you look at the dictionary definition of
capital you will see phrases like: "principal," "highly important,"
"chief," "a form of wealth," "assets," "excellent." Now, more than ever,
fundraising is becoming a chief or principal effort of most non-profit
organizations. It is, for many, one of the main sources of wealth and
building their assets.

Further along the dictionary if you look
up the word "venture," you will see descriptions such as "involving
uncertainty," "risk," "dare," "be bold enough," "something is risked in
hope of a profit." Fundraising does involve risk, however the return can
be great. Organizations sometimes need to be bold in their fundraising
efforts. They need to risk time and money and precious human resources
in order to be successful.

Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE of Capital Venture™ is pleased to
announce the publication of her latest book, Raise More Money from Your
Business Community. Here is an excerpt from the foreword to the book:

“As
fundraisers we’ve got to begin asking questions about the way we do business.
What cornerstone forms the strategy or philosophy for the way we approach the
priorities of our daily work?Is
the old adage true for corporations, they aren’t giving because we aren’t
asking? And if we aren’t looking for innovative ways to partner, someone, and I
dare say it’s those who are reading Linda’s book, is getting the jump on us!”
